135 year old local hardware store. 😁
« on: Friday,August 26, 2022, 08:57:50 AM »
   I’m just a kid in a candy store here. This local hardware store has been in business in the same building for over 135 years.  No ac in building , so open windows and fans going keep you cool😥.
S F Travis hardware is still amazing.  They had my M7 bolts .😁. I could post another 10 pictures but it’s a soup to nuts shop and plenty of selection. They have a website too . No affiliation just a fan.

   Went back for more bolts today and I treated myself to an oil can 😁
I missed this artwork of tools welded together.

I remember Orchard Supply Hardware, before Sears took over and ruined them. :(

what a great place. I live near an area with a very large industrial area. Anything out of the ordinary I have to order on line!! All the good ironmongers are gone apart from 1.
